As a previous commenter said -- why are you not similarly shocked by the number of HN users that carry a remote recording (audio + video) device + GPS tracker i

  You shouldn't. However, putting ubiquitous extra devices around your home prevents you from isolating the part of your life you want private from the rest. i.e. We have a policy at home, all devices remain downstairs. My phone is further isolated by being, when not in active use, either in the bottom of a bag or in a drawer in my desk. GPS is turned off most of the time, again, unless being actively use by an app that I am in the middle of using. I am aware that this is not enough under the assumption we are dealing with agresive adversaries that are out to get me, but my line of defense there happens to be to live an ordinary, boring life. The strategy above is an uncomfortable compromise to not give the keys of the kingdom right away, but also being able to benefit from modern conveniences (and no, I do not use my smartphone for every not-physiological action I perform during my day to day).
